Tony Gilroy: "I like to start with small things in big environments, then just molecularly follow them out. You set these characters up, you believe in them, and you really get down in it with them, what they need, what they’re afraid of.” #screenwriting

This really can’t be said enough. This is the foundation for everything we do in the writers room. So much of streaming has lost this sense of causation.

Peter Falk telling Gena Rowlands that her performance in A Woman Under The Influence is the greatest ever and will be remembered 100 years from now and being absolutely correct

3rd Breakdown of Steven Spielberg's blocking, camera movement, and staging in Munich. This one is fascinating because he uses the car to dolly, the lens to zoom, and Eric Bana's blocking to stitch 4 shots into 1. It's so low tech but it's exquisite. It's also a reminder to throw out the rules. I don't think it's natural to crouch beside a car, but it works because it looks great. This of course might be a negotiation with your actors, as the blocking needs to feel truthful for them to sell it, but IMO sometimes it's okay to just make a shot look cool.

Something I'm thinking about a lot lately in relation to the idea of a 'career' in art, in writing. Thanks @Joseph_Fasano_
Vale Donald Sutherland, whose role in Ordinary People (and then many others) helped shape the way I saw stories and cinema. A fine actor and a fine career. We're all richer for his being here.
With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.

John Fowles explains in "The Aristos" (1964) how high IQ can subvert your will to act: "High intelligence leads to multiplicity of interest and a sharpened capacity to foresee the consequences of any action. Will is lost in a labyrinth of hypothesis." Rule 1: Do not lose the will

I found it interesting to read the Japanese backlash responses to this, some particularly disturbed because of a belief in “Tsukumogami” — the idea that creative tools can possess a spirit of their own (a beautiful notion), so destroying them is truly evil.
… not a great look

Perfectionists believe that perfection is perfection everywhere. Much of the work in therapy entails cultivating an understanding of the duality of a trait, learning to see it as beneficial (being a perfect fit) in one environment while flawed in another. existentialcafe.blog/2023/10…
